Today, we are featuring "Grandma's Boudoir" stamp set:
For my card, I wanted to highlight the wonderful dog and chair image.  I did this by inking a portion of the stamp.  I colored the image with Copics then used Tim Holtz Distress inks to color the edges.  I ran the base panel through a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I completed the card by adding a piece of black lace.
